Top 10: Cars from the BMC and Leyland day
An impressive and rather fitting turnout of 30 Rover 800s converged on the British Motor Museum at Gaydon to celebrate the model’s 30th anniversary. But it was just part of a day packed with BMC, BL and Austin-Rover eye candy. If you’re not a fan of the British car industry’s darkest hours, then look away now.

MG RV8
The early 1990s pastiche of the original MGB V8 may have been something of a Marmite car when new, but on the basis that most have been snapped up by excitable Japanese collectors, it’s now a very rare beast indeed. It’s also one of the most unusual cars ever to use the venerable Rover V8 engine. This example, finished in Woodcote Green (arguably the best colour) was immaculate throughout.
